Inner Deliverance From Pharaoh
Exodus 1:22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Exodus 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Pharaoh commands all his people to cast every newborn Israelite son into the river. The verse exposes an oppressive, life-denying decree attempting to crush a people.
Neville's Inner Vision
Pharaoh’s decree in Exodus 1:22 rises as a symbol of fear-made-law in the world of appearances. It declares what must not be, rather than what is; that is the nature of the ego when it identifies with scarcity. The river it speaks of is the current of life—an outer circumstance that seems to threaten every newborn idea, every spark of freedom. But you, as the reader, are asked to notice that the birth of liberty begins in consciousness, not in politics. The deliverance is not a new edict but a shift in state of mind: you assume the end of the story, you revise the decree, and you feel it as real now. Place your attention on the I AM within you—the living, unconditioned awareness that preserves life. See the newborns of your possibilities safe, seen, and kept by mercy and justice that are your own. When you dwell in that inner reality, the external decree loses its grip and liberation becomes your immediate experience, born from imagination rather than decree.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and revise the decree: I am kept by the I AM; every birth of life in me is already delivered. Then feel it-real by resting your attention in the chest and permitting the inner light to confirm safety and liberation.
